Report: Man was carrying 3 guns, 3 knives when cops shot him

A concerned family member of Mark Wayne Bill's called cops about the conversation he had with him and asked the cops to do a welfare check at his home, according to a news release from the Clearwater Police Department.

Responding cops found Bill armed with an AR-15 (.223 rifle), a Mossberg 500 with pistol grip (shot gun), a Colt 45 pistol and three knives when he stepped outside his home,e, the release stated.

When Bill pointed the AR-15 at the cops in a threatening manner multiple times and disregarded several lawful orders to drop his weapon two of the cops fired at Bill because they were in fear for their safety and the safety of their fellow officers, according to the Clearwater Police Department.

Additional guns, ammo and a grenade were found inside of his home. The grenade was later determined to be inert, cops said.
